[issue22490] Using realpath for __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ makes Homebrew installs fragile

2018-09-23 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The pull request is wrong, the use of __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ in pythonw.c is correct and should not be removed. Where the current code goes wrong is that it doesn't clear the environment as soon as possible. This patch should basically do the trick

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-19 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Note that the POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK may not do anything at this point (see the link in my previous message, if I read the code correctly POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK is no longer used in the implementation of posix_spawn(3)). Even if it did do something the user

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I did some more research: * <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10354> seems to indicate that glibc switched to a different implementation of posix_spawn that uses clone(2) instead of fork()/vfork() to avoid some problems with

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I get the impression that go uses vfork on Linux, not posix_spawn, because go doesn't use libc (based on reading the referenced issue, not on deep knowledge of go and its implementation). I do wonder why glibc's implementation of posix_spawn doesn't use

[issue34597] Python needs to check existence of functions at runtime for targeting older macOS platforms

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: @Zorg: you don't need to sell the usefulness of this functionality. Its just that the python developers are volunteers and hence have limited time to work on python. -- ___ Python tracker <ht

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: vfork() is more dangerous than fork() because the parent and child processes share memory (not copy-on-write, but really the same memory). Whether or not this affects posix_spawn depends on its implementation (to give a very vague statement). Glibc

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Good question. A comment on <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2731531/faster-forking-of-large-processes-on-linux> says that glibc already uses vfork where appropriate, explicitly using the flag may not be necessary. Note that I haven't ve

[issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

2018-09-18 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: @vstinner: another option is to ignore "use_vfork" on platforms that don't have POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK. Using vfork or not is primarily a optimisation, ignoring the flag should not result in different behaviour (other than speed). -

[issue34704] Do not access ob_type directly, introduce Py_TP

2018-09-17 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: IMHO there doesn't need to be a new API unless the semantics change w.r.t Py_TYPE (for example by adding an API that returns an owned reference instead of a borrowed reference). Py_TYPE can work with an opaque version of PyObject by turning

[issue34597] Python needs to check existence of functions at runtime for targeting older macOS platforms

2018-09-14 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Linking with newer SDKs is needed to get access to some newer features and APIs. That's less relevant for Python itself, but can be relevant for the embedding application. You can still compile Python itself on an older machine, then link

[issue34553] Python Crashes when trying to access any date related fields in MailItem

2018-09-11 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: There's not enough information in the issue to be sure, but I'm inclined to say this is a 3th-party problem. To be sure someone will have to reproduce the problem in a debugger, or provide a stack trace of the crash. The initial message says there's

2018-09-09 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Binaries currently work on the system you compiled on and any later release of macOS. That's the only "promise" there currently is. Anything better requires work, and hence someone willing to do that work. I'd love to be able to build on the la

[issue34597] Python needs to check existence of functions at runtime for targeting older macOS platforms

2018-09-06 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The primary Python.org installer supports 10.9 and later by way of being compiled on 10.9, and there is also an installer that supports 10.6. There currently is no promise that building on 10.13 results in code that works on earlier versions of macOS

[issue34543] _struct.Struct: calling functions without calling __init__ results in SystemError

2018-09-03 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: It's not as easy as that, the SystemError in the original report is caused by invalid use of a C-API due to partial initialisation of an _struct.Struct instance. The solution is likely two-fold: 1) Ensure that __new__ fully initialises the fields in de C

2018-09-03 Thread Ronald Oussoren
Ronald Oussoren added the comment: IMHO SystemError is the wrong exception, that exception is primarily used to signal implementation errors. BTW. I can reproduce crashes in a couple of runs of your scriptlet: Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 26 2018, 23:26:24) [Clang 6.0 (clang
